- Journey Through The Message 23 - Praise the Lord and Pass the CAKE!
I love witnessing BOLD faith. Faith that says, "If I can just put a finger on his robe, I'll get well." Faith that says, "My daughter just died, but if you will come and touch her, she will live." It is another action-packed day, Heidi may cry again, and hear a challenge from an atheist on sharing your faith!

26 min - Journey Through The Message 22 - Disreputable dinner guests are the BEST!
I love that Jesus' guest list included people that society looked for reasons to throw away or not have anything to do with. He welcomed them to His table to just simply be in His presence. And as we travel back to the OT, we get to witness a beautiful reunion of a father and son who never though this day would come.

33 min - Journey Through The Message 21 - If the boat’s a rockin, don’t stop believing!
After surviving a stormy night at sea, the disciples watch as Jesus heals 2 demon-possessed men, but the local pig farmers weren't too pleased losing their entire herd! I am sure this was the beginning formation of PETA lol. Meanwhile, Peter is stuck outside of a door playing the knock-knock game after breaking out of prison because they can't believe it's him. And Joseph's brothers finally realize who their brother is and Israel...still dramatic. Some great stories today in this Journey Through the Message!

26 min - Journey Through The Message 16 - ”Cannon Ball” Paul coming in HOT!
What if there was a guy wanting to kill you one day and then the next he is acting like he is on your side and supportive of your cause - would you welcome him in? The early disciples were faced with that very dilemma and not everyone was ready to accept Paul back. Would you? And if you tune in to hear me butcher some names, we end today with a climb through an OT family tree. Let's try not to hit any branches as we go!

About Sober Not Boring
From the publisher's feed
Sober Not Boring is the podcast that flips the script on recovery.
We bring you real conversations, inspiring interviews, and practical tools that prove sobriety isn’t just about saying “no” — it’s about saying “yes” to a better, bolder life.
From recovery stories that will make you laugh (and maybe cry) to expert insights and resources you can use right now, we’re here to break the stigma and show that life after addiction can be full of purpose, connection, and yes… fun.
Whether you’re in recovery, thinking about it, or walking alongside someone who is, pull up a chair. There’s a seat here for you — because sober doesn’t mean boring.
